Internal compiler error

Test program is below. Upon compiling:

erpsim1:~/dcs16/linux_lib/test> ifort test.f90

And also still failing in our Composer XE 2013 SP1 Update 1. Thank you for the convenient reproducer. I will report this to Development and post updates regarding a fix or work around as I learn it.

This issue has been fixed for our major release later this year. Development is investigating fixing in the current 14.0 release; however, that is probably not likely due to the complexity of the fix. The internal error occurs related to the default initialization. A work around would be to create an initialization routine to explicitly set the fields to zero rather than depend on default initialization.

Just confirming again this

Just confirming again this issue is resolved in the Intel® Parallel Studio XE 2015 release for Linux (Version 15.0.0.090 Build 20140723) now available from the Intel® Registration Center.

Also, Development determined the complexity and associated risk to back port the fix into the current Intel® Composer XE 2013 SP1 (14.0 compiler) was too significant so please either upgrade to the newer release or continue using the earlier suggested work around.
